Tour de California, Biking
Race with the Pros through Napa and Sonoma Valleys
The Tour de Calfornia is fast becoming known as an exciting international race with superb routes and large fan support. As soon as the 2009 race route is confirmed, we'll have our itinerary up which will include at 3 or 4 days of race viewing and, as on all of our 'Tour with the Pros' trips, you will have the opportunity to ride sections of the official race routes, and meet the professional racers. We'll also include other rides on quiet roads with outstanding scenery, time for wine tastings and great meals. We'll stay in distinctive lodging and enjoy the hospitality of California!
